+What's cooking in git.git (Dec 2011, #01; Fri, 2)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'.
+Now that 1.7.8 is tagged, I'll start planning to rewind 'next' by kicking
+topics back to 'pu' and/or dropping them, but let's give the new release a
+couple of days of calm.
+
Here are the repositories that have my integration branches:
With maint, master, next, pu, todo:
